Elix
Contemporary eco-luxury with a strong outdoor adventure and digital-detox ethos. Stone, wood and olive-tinted concrete architecture sits unobtrusively among sage-scented gardens. The vibe is relaxed and active — hiking, kayaking and sailing by day, live jazz at the bar at night.
If possible, fly into Corfu and take the hotel's private boat transfer across — you arrive having passed hidden beaches, sea caves and inlets, and it's one of the great hotel arrivals in Greece
Why It Matters
The only Mar-Bella Collection property on the Greek mainland, and Condé Nast Traveller put it on their 2022 Hotlist for 'unbeatable location.' It has since ranked in the Top 10 Resorts in Greece in CNT Readers' Choice Awards two years running and holds a 2025 Michelin Guide recognition. The private funicular railway to Karavostasi Beach is a genuine standout touch.
Elix sits on a forested hillside above Karavostasi Beach, perched on the Epirus mainland with views across the Ionian Sea to Paxos, Antipaxos and Corfu shimmering in the distance. The terraced construction means all 146 rooms and suites face the sea. It is 5-star in every sense: contemporary stone-and-wood architecture blended into the wooded slopes, private and swim-up pools in most categories, four restaurants, a full spa, and a funicular railway that takes you straight down to the beach.
